Son wants everyone dressed in black for his Star Wars party - Too much to ask of others?

[Anonymous]

I have a 6yr old boy. We have black pants. We don't have a black shirt or a Star Wars shirt. Heck my kid doesn't know what Star Wars is so aim not buying him a T shirt to come to a party.

Those who are interested in joining can find something. Those who can't or don't want to can still come to celebrate your son's birthday in whatever they wear.

Put on the invitation "Jedi and Sith, join in the fun by wearing your favorite Star Wars costumes or Ts"

Most boys will have something Star Wars in their wardrobe, if only a character T.

No, don't mention it in the off chance a kid doesn't have a tshirt.

My kid is not a star wars fan. OK to put but its a bit off putting.

Sure, you can ask. It's like "Hawaiian Shirt Day" or "Team Spirit Day". People who have the attire wear it, those who don't either choose to purchase some, or wear what they have. It's not as if you are requiring a dress code.

Yes well, it's not your son's party. My son just went to a tea party and that's not his thing either. But he was able to get to the spirit of things.

That's amazing, where did you grow up? Very rural or religious area?

How on earth does your 6 year old boy have no idea what Star Wars is? Is he homeschooled?

Based on the crazy uptight posts from these anti Star Wars moms, OP should make it mandatory and turn away at the door any kid whose mom is against this.

That will make it easy to recognize the unfun moms in the class who will ruin all things fun by objecting to everything.

Everyone's missing the main point here, which is that OP's son is clearly in favor of the Dark Side.

Not PP, but my kids don't wear black either. They're under 7. I just don't buy it for them. Superstitious I guess. It feels sad to have them wear black. I'm from manhattan.

Hahaha! So true.

One would think that would appeal to the moms of dcum who clearly are also on the dark side.

Go ask your son if he knows/has heard of jedi, darth vadar, R2D2, BB-8 or lightsabers. I bet he has, especially if he has ever been around other children.

PP here. I grew up in Naples, FL and Potomac, MD. We are not a religious family and never have been, either.
